It looks interesting, but I think some kind of tutorial or help page would be nice to have. I thought it was difficult to understand what to do.

Btw what lib did you use for sound?

I think I will try to make an in-game tutorial later. I have a few things to add like music, some minor changes to GUI, a few more gems, and some security things. But I add tutorial to my to do list.I use java.io for sound, the Clip and the AudioInputStream classes. It's very simple, the whole thing is about one page. But to play music, mp3 or ogg files, I will need some other kind of library. I am thinking about the java SPI.

Comments:Very fun, creative take on tower defense. I really enjoyed this game and I played it several times.

Issues:- You have a few user flow issues, as in UI issues preventing the user from getting into your game, it took me several reloads.- Combine stopped working for me after the first attempt (working as intended?)

Suggestions:- Perhaps have the monster path-auto-update every time you place a piece?- find an artist friend and have them create a look for you - some items are ISO (zombies are perspective) - some items are front facing (buildings, your 'mage', some monsters)

I will try to make starting the game more easy and user-friendly.There is one serious thing right now, that if you start the tutorial, there is no way to stop or quit it I will have to fix that somehow, maybe adding some quit button.But as far as I know all UI controls should work fine. (No known bugs.)

- Combine stopped working for me after the first attempt (working as intended?)

If you select the right gems in the right order, it should work (the button goes lighter and enabled).But to reuse combine sometimes you have to clear selection with the Cancel button.You can use Combine indefinite times per game.

I tried but nobody wants to work for free My brother is currently doing modelling, he created the zombie model. I had to animate and render it but that's not too hard.I plan to have similar graphics for all other creeps and the mage.The background was created by a guy who is an artist, but after that he was too busy to continue. So the buttons were done by me.
